Yogi Bear™ and his crew have been busy just outside of Sioux Falls cutting the likeness of one of America’s favorite bears into the corn. The Corn Maze at Jellystone Park is set to open to the public on August 1.

Yogi Bear Corn Maze

Located at the Jellystone Park campground just three miles east of Sioux Falls, the maze features over 7 acres of turns, twists, and dead ends carved into stalks that reach over your head and offers an experience for those hungry for fun. Admission to the maze includes the maze which offers two levels of difficulty, use of the jumping pillow, two playgrounds, wagon rides, and visits by our “smarter-than-the-average bear” – Yogi Bear.

“We are really looking forward to our Corn Maze opening,” said Bruce Aljets, owner and operator of campground. “Our new maze stands for all of the things we have always incorporated into our campground – clean, safe family fun. We are excited to have an added amenity that allows us to share the family fun with campers and non-campers alike.”

Hours of operation for the corn maze are Friday 5 pm to 9 pm, Saturday 12 pm to 9 pm, and Sunday 1 pm to 5 pm. The maze will be open through Halloween and will feature “Fright Nights” at the end of October.
